Hello, my name is Trenity I am a direct descendant of Marco Polo. I own a shop in Venice where I sell luxurious silks. My stock will run out in about 2yrs' time if I dont restore it. I'm planning a trip to cities along the silk road where I can purchase more silks for my customers. On my journey I will visit Chang'an, Smarkand, Kashgar, and Istanbul. Also I will be traveling on my elephant I bought for an exchange of 15 silks.


On my first trip I'll be going to Chang'an. Chang'an street wards are deserted and desolated. Town dwellings are parsley scattered. The buildings, offices, stations, bureaus, shops, and markets. Storehouse are now concentrated on a single corner on the wall of a hundred, barely survived. Great bells have fallen into tthe ruin temple. Bell frames have collapsed and supended. At the counter I see an old women standing there, I walk up and say,


"May I have some of your finest silk please, I said utterly?


"Yes you may, that will be 20 coins please, said the woman.


"Thank you, I said.

On my second trip I'll be going to Smarkand. Smarkand is one of the most oldest excisting cities in the world and the oldest of Central Asia. At the time of its greatest splendor medievil Smarkand was a fabulous city, and palaces, and gardens. It also have paved and tree-lined streets and a water system that supplides most of the individual houses. It has great silk and iron and was the meeting point from caravans' marchants, from India, Persia, and China.


As I visit the city I see a huge stand. I walk up to the stand and this time I see two people, a man and a women.


"May I have some of your finest silks please",I said bravely?


"Sure that'll be 30 coins ", said the woman.


"Here maim thank you for the silks",I said.
